                    ‘Chhwata Gor Thobdu Chatan’‘a Garhwali satire by Prakash Dhashmana criticizes the indifferent policy or no policy for small newspapers/magazines. Dhashmana blames the uncaring strategy of government, politicians and bureaucracy for development of local language journalism and literature. The Garhwali satirical columnist Prakash Dhashmana charges the ignoring attitude of government, chief minister for not helping local language journalism and literature in his satirical column ‘Chakdait Uvach (The cunning man’s words).

  The satire starts as if Dhashmana narrating a story or memory but slowly the narration starts analyzing the total unsympathetic plan, apathetic guiding principle, unconcerned guidelines, unmoved procedure by government, chief minister, politicians, government officers for local language literature and journalism.

 The satire blames that the big papers are getting big pie from the government aids for improving journalism but not the small newspapers those are in need more.

 The style is in story telling form and analyzing the facts resulting total loss of humor and making sharp statement. The language is from Salani dialects.

  The satire impresses the readers to make pressure on politicians and bureaucrats to make a plan for local language development.
